Seeing the worried expressions on everyone's faces, Jiang Chen slightly smiled, "Don't worry, Yan Hu, Mo Bao, and I will accompany Fatty there, and we will ensure the safety of Elder Ouyang and Fatty."

"The three of you?"

Tang Jiawei looked at Jiang Chen in astonishment, "Head of the Jiang Family, stop joking around. The other two might be fine, being an Innate Grandmaster and a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm expert, but you... please don't cause more trouble!"

It wasn't just Tang Jiawei; people from the Tang Family, Mo Family, and Dong Family all looked at Jiang Chen with a disdainful expression.

Your mind is definitely sharp, we admire that!

But strength... what are you going to do without any strength at all? Isn't that just causing trouble?

Whirr whirr whirr!

A tremendously strong aura suddenly emerged, filling the entire meeting room, pinning everyone firmly in their seats. Even the Lou Family Patriarch, Elder Dong from the Dong Family, and the elderly from the Tang Family felt an irresistible force.

Everyone suddenly froze, staring at Jiang Chen with faces full of shock.

Jiang Chen slightly smiled, withdrew his aura, and said softly, "Do you all feel relieved now?"

"You, you are a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm?!"

"How is that possible?!"

"You too are a Semi Venerable Venerable Realm?!"

A chorus of surprised exclamations rang out in the meeting room, and the faces of the crowd showed utter disbelief and astonishment.

Dong Yu and other younger members were utterly dumbstruck, their mouths agape!

Is he really a young man in his twenties? Are you really about the same age as us? We too were called prodigies since childhood!

But damn it, compared to him, why do we feel like we're nothing but trash!

"How is that possible?!"

"Two supreme geniuses appearing at the same time, is this...a coincidence?"

"Could it be…"

Eyes from the leaders of the Fang Family, Mo Family, Dong Family, Tang Family, and Tang Family all shimmered with a peculiar gleam, intensely observing Jiang Chen.

The people from Lou Family turned their heads to glance at the expressions of other family heads in the meeting room, each revealing a slight smile. Over the years, only Jiang Chen could elicit such unbelievable expressions from these family heads!

Feeling the fluctuations from Jiang Chen, two individuals were most shaken, one of which was Tang Wanru, the Miss of the Tang Family. She sensed a wave from Jiang Chen similar to the cultivation technique she practiced.

The other was a frail old man from the Tang Family, who reacted most violently!

That old man's eyes flickered with an indescribable look, fixating intently on Jiang Chen.

He too felt a strange yet seemingly extremely familiar aura from Jiang Chen. That kind of obedience that originated from the soul made him think of a title that appeared only a thousand years ago!

"What cultivation technique do you practice?" the Tang Family elder asked involuntarily.

Jiang Chen slightly frowned, responding lightly, "Elder Tang, don't you think your question is a bit too much?"

Everyone turned to look at Elder Tang, and those who knew Jiang Chen was an Ancient Martial Artist, like the Lou Family Patriarch, all showed a guarded expression in their eyes.

"Sir, you don't seem to be from the Tang Family, are you?" the Lou Family Patriarch squinted his eyes slightly, looking at the skinny old man with a scrutinizing gaze.

"Elder Wu, what's the matter?" Tang Chengye also showed a face full of astonishment, asking someone about their cultivation technique was extremely impolite and easily forged enemies.

The skinny elder did not answer Tang Chengye's question but stared straight at Jiang Chen and said slowly, "My name is Wu Qianxun. A thousand years ago, my family almost perished due to following the wrong leader, leaving only our ancestor to escape. Over the years, my family has been barely surviving, quietly waiting because of the ancestral teachings. We've waited a thousand years."

"Now, we no longer hide from the world but have come forth actively in search. I arrived at the Tang Family thirty years ago hoping to leverage the Tang Family's power to find the person we've been waiting for."

As he said this, he paused, his eyes deep with meaning as he continued, "And my name reflects our family's mission, a thousand years of searching."

"A thousand years ago?!" the Lou Family patriarch frowned and spoke, "There were countless families destroyed during the great chaos in the Martial Dao World a thousand years ago. Saying this without specifics makes no difference."

"There is a difference!"

Jiang Chen spoke softly, his eyes complex as he looked at Wu Qianxun: "You remind me of another power that helped me for reasons I do not know, a very powerful force. They once said they would never become my enemy, but at that time, I was too weak for them to reveal the truth. When I grew stronger, they said they would give me a surprise. I want to know, are you like them?"

A glint flashed in Wu Qianxun's eyes as he quickly said, "The people helping you, was it Dark Night?"

"Yes."

Jiang Chen frowned slightly and nodded slowly.

Then, he gave a bitter smile and shook his head, "You people are really interesting; I don't understand what's happening, and you all get so worked up. Can't you tell me what's exciting you so much?"

"Is it really you?!"

Wu Qianxun looked at Jiang Chen in surprise and was about to bow, but suddenly hesitated.

His eyes complex, he looked at Jiang Chen briefly and sat back down, his eyes filled with anticipation as he said, "Dark Night was right, you... still need to grow!"

"I..."

Jiang Chen felt an urge to curse someone. He wasn't someone who liked being indebted to others; being helped by Dark Night Angel put him slightly under pressure. Now, when he finally met someone who talked more, it turned out to be another declaration that he 'still needed to grow'.

This really made him feel an urge to explode.

"You can talk or not!" Jiang Chen glared at Wu Qianxun irritatedly, calmed his mind for a moment, his expression became serious, and he spoke in a deep voice, "How long will it take for the top forces of each family to arrive secretly?"

"Our family is in the ancient capital, we can move anytime!" Tang Chengye said eagerly.

"We can be there by tomorrow morning!" Dong Tianchen spoke with a face full of murderous intent.

Mo Tiancheng followed, "We will also arrive tomorrow morning."

"This..." Tang Jiawei spoke with a slight apology, "Our family's situation is a bit special, only my grandfather is a Semi Venerable in our family. We can only bring people of the Innate Peak. If needed, we can also arrive by tomorrow morning."

Everyone understood that the peak force Jiang Chen mentioned had to be at least Innate Peak because in front of a Semi Venerable's power, ordinary Innate Grandmasters couldn't withstand even a single hit, so they didn't mention those of such realms.

Jiang Chen nodded slightly, everyone discussed the gathering spot and the specific numbers, and then they left one after another.

Whether the Mo Family wanted to locate Mo Tianze or Tang Yulin wanted to pursue Wan Ru, all had to wait until this matter was concluded. This matter was of utmost urgency!

The importance of this was clear to them.

Everything was proceeding according to plan.

In the ancient capital, undercurrents surged...
